I only give candy to 2 Dump Banks. I do not give anything (except being very nice) to pickup banks as I feel they are nowhere near as important as dump banks.
Yes, I agree with you to a certain extent, it depends on your situation, some people on here have a harder time finding someone to order them halves and some not as much. In my situation, my main bank told me that it cost them too much money to keep ordering me 2 boxes a week but, since I was a valued customer, ie- was nice, brought them goodies, ect. that they would keep ordering me 2 boxes, but only every 2 weeks. I have other banks too that keep ordering me coins because I bring them something every now and then ( not only because of that, but it helps). One vault teller collects Iks, so I bring her a couple every now and then when I pick them up from another bank, and she will order me what ever I want.
I also take the time to talk to the banks Manager and tell them that I appreciate their service and commend the employes that help me out in each branch, ecspecially the vault tellers, and I find that with those little extra things they over look the inconvenience I may cause them by ordering halves and doing my hobby. In the end it cost them extra money to order us halves everyweek. I know everyone will argue that and say " Well I pay my mortage with them, or have a savings or IRA so they make money off of me" and blah blah blah, well, I have all those too and was still told that only every 2 weeks for my orders. Why are people begining to be charged to order these coins now, or being told they can't order anymore? Because it costs them money. In the end it just depends on a persons situation, for me, it helps to support both dump and pick up banks, but I think the pick up banks are important too, not as much as a dump bank, but still pretty important.
Most all banks will take your dumps if you have an account to deposit it in, whether it's rolled or bagged, but not all will order you half dollars. Just my opinion though, everyone is entitled to one. Thanks for looking, HH. Maverick.
